“…This could be due to the nature of mineral elements in the ash, particularly the alkaline and alkaline earth metals. These elements tend to catalyze pyrolysis reactions which usually lead to degradation and polymerization of the intermediate products [40,41]. Studies have shown that the addition of alkaline earth metal (Ca) promotes the formation of liquid product during pyrolysis [42,43] and therefore, the increased aqueous phase bio-oil (Table 3).…”

In this study, co-pyrolysis of rice husk with underutilized biomass, Napier grass and sago waste was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at 600°C, 30°C/min and 5 L/min nitrogen flowrate. Two-phase bio-oil (organic and aqueous) was collected and characterized using standard analytical techniques. 34.13-45.55 wt% total boil-oil yield was recorded using assorted biomass compared to pure risk husk biomass with 31.51 wt% yield. The organic phase consist mainly benzene derivatives with higher proportion in the oil from the co-pyrolysis process relative to the organic phase from the pyrolysis of the individual biomass while the aqueous phase in all cases was predominantly water, acids, ketones, aldehydes, sugars and traces of phenolics. This study has demonstrated a good approach towards increasing valorization of rice husk in a single reaction step for the production of high grade bio-oil, which can be transformed into fuel and valuable chemicals.

“…The calculated calorific power of the mangaba seed sample was 23.45 MJ Kg À1 . For comparison, for Pongamiaglabra and Mesuaferrea seeds, values for calorific power of 16.32 and 18.34 MJ Kg À1 , and carbon contents of 44% and 47.5% respectively, have been reported (Bordoloi et al, 2015).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of Hancornia speciosa GOMES (mangaba) seeds as a novel matrix for the production of bio-oil. The study was divided into three steps: (i) characterization of the biomass (through elemental analysis (CHN), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), thermogravimetry (TG), and determination of biomass composition; (ii) pyrolysis of mangaba seed to obtain the bio-oil; and (iii) characterization of the bio-oil (thermogravimetry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-GC/qMS). The TG of the sample showed a mass loss of around 90% in 450°C. In the pyrolysis experiments the variables included temperature (450 and 600°C), sample mass (5 and 11g) and prior heating (with or without), with the best conditions of 600°C, 11g of seeds and prior heating of the furnace. The GC/qMS analysis identified carboxylic acids and hydrocarbons as the major components, besides the presence of other compounds such as furanes, phenols, nitriles, aldehydes, ketones, and amides.
